GLOSSARY OF TERMS:
------------------

CASUS BELLI: A valid pretext for a decloration of war. Clear and sustained violation of territory can be used as a Casus Belli. One stray unit is not an excuse as long as it is withdrawn promptly.

The Casus Belli has to be acted on immediately. For example if Germany invades Czechoslovakia but the Allies do not feel ready to go to war they miss their opportunity and must wait for the next provocation! The Democracies will have to decide when to appease Hitler and when to make a stand!

SPANISH CIVIL WAR
-----------------
An attack on Republican Spain either during or after the Spanish Civil War gives France and Great Britain a Casus Belli. Gifting units to the Nationalists does not constitute an attack.

Victory in the Civil War is achieved when one side controls all of the enemies cities. When all the enemies cities have been captured the war is over and all remaining units belonging to the defeated side must be disbanded immediately.

All of the external nations can support either side economically and militarily by gifting money or units via the cheat menu. 

Gifted units must be unloaded within two squres of a friendly city.

Republican and Nationalist forces can only attack hostile foreign ships or aircraft that are within two squares of the Spanish mainland or the Balearic Islands. They have enough problems of their own without starting new wars with the major powers! For their part the external nations are not allowed to barrier off access to the Balearic Islands with a chain of ships etc...

By "Hostile" I mean a nation supporting the other side with gifted military units.

No foreign Freighters carrying Trade Convoys are to be attacked by either the Republicans or the Nationalists. Freighters carrying military units within the two square exclusion zone are legitimate targets.

VICHY FRANCE
------------
If Germany captures 25% of French cities, including Paris, the French government must become a puppet state. 

If Germany decides to negotiate more lenient terms that is up to them, otherwise the settlement is:

2, France must hand over control of all Metropolitan French cities bar Limoges, Toulouse, Lyon, Marseilles, Toulon and Nice.

3, France must disband all army and air force units in Metropolitan France bar three Infantry Divisions in each Vichy city.

4, No military units can be built in Metropolitan cities until the Free French clause (see #8).

6, The French fleet must either hand over its ships to the Germans or sail to Toulon or colonial ports.

7, If Germany wishes to occupy Tunis the French must hand over the city even if this means disbanding of troops homed there!

8, The French will be freed from these constraints if the Allies liberate Casablanca, Algiers and Oran. The Vichy government can either choose to join the Allied side again or continue to work with Germany.

9, If the Vichy government decide to become the Free French then Germany can occupy the remainder of the Metropolitan cities by force and any colonial cities they can grab.

10, The Allies can occupy any Vichy cities they wish without a Casus Belli. It is up to the Allies if they hand back control of any ex-French cities to the Free French. Should cause some realistic tension between De Galle and the Allied leaders!
